But having known Ben Chapman for 20 years, we expect the fiery Smokers pilot to send his boys out for a victory. He isn't the type of manager who plays a game just for the sake of the exercise. If the Smokers play the kind of baseball that has kept them on top the Florida International League most of the year we believe they'll lick the Stars tonight. The wisdom, or lack of it, of the clubowners will be shown by the gate For some unaccountable reason the clubowners voted months ago to play the all-star game at Miami regardless of which team was leading.

If the game draws the 6000 fans they expect at Miami the clubowners will be in line for congratulations as astute businessmen. If the game is a flop at the gate the magnates will have been proven 'wrong, and will probably go back to the system of playing the game in the city that is ahead on a certain date. Because Miami is a fine sports town, and there's little activity down there in the hot months other than baseball, we believe the game will draw a good crowd. PAUL GAME, TAMPA SAILOR, was a member of the crew in the Class A winner of the Los Angeles-Honolulu race. Sailing aboard the Fairweather, owned by Fred Allen, he reached Honolulu Sunday after a rough passage during which a cameraman was swept overboard from another craft, and rescued the next day by a Navy patrol boat.

Miranda, is a tough question to answer. Certainly some unpleasant situations could arise. -Suppose for instance that 50,000 fans gathered for a ball game, and the players decided to call a strike just before the first ball was pitched. Do you believe that many of these 50,000 fans would be on hand for the next game? Big Crowd Sees Yanks Beat Chisox Considering the minimum pay of $5000, pension benefits, and the excellent money ball players of exceptional ability receive in the major leagues, they could organizing a union. Warren Giles, one of the smartest men in baseball, a gentle man who has come up through the Cincinnati Reds, has some He said the other day: "The players dont need a certainly haven't needed it with men like (K.M.) Landis and Chandler.

The National League clubs had a fine meeting last week with player representatives and the players had no major complaints. "A players' union with its own commissioner would be a to the players themselves and would only complicate player-club relations." "A lot of the owners are pretty much fans they're not in baseball to make money. To mention Powel Crosley of the Reds, Tom Yawkey of the Boston Red Sox, Bob Carpenter of the Philadelphia' Phils, Phil Wrigley of the Chicago Cubs and Del Webb of the New York Yankees. "Their ball players are just as much heroes to them as they are to the other fans. I'm convinced the players can do more by dealing directly with the club owners than they could through a commissioner of their own." CHICAGO.

July 18. (JP) The Chicago White Sox last night had a big black Cadillac, supplied by a funeral home, to service New York Yankee pitchers in the distant cen- "ter field bull pen. Manager Casey Stengel of the Yanks had a quick comeback for the gag which developed after the Yankees previously declined to use the bull-pen station wagon available to haul in relief pitchers. "You know they had a snappy Cadillac convertible at Cleveland last week as a rib, too," cracked Stengel. "That was the night we didn't happen to need a relief pitcher Allie Reynolds pitched a no-hitter." U.

(JP) Sven Davidsson and Lennart Bergelin, who turned in singles victories yester day, teamed in the doubles today to beat Felicisimo Ampon and Cesar Car- mona of the Philippines in straight sets and clinch Sweden's European zone semifinal Davis Cup victory. The scores of today's match were 6-3, 8-6, 6-4, and the outcome left the two singles matches scheduled for tomorrow as token affairs. As King Gustaf Adolf of Sweden and 2000 other fans looked on, Davidsson and Bergelin swept through the first set without much competition, but Ampon and Carmona settled down to offer stiff resistance in the last two sets.

"Actually the legal threat to baseball's structure has now become quite critical, since there are a series of legal suits bearing on several legal questions. "Unless the exact position of organized baseball in relation to the antitrust laws of the United States is examined clearly the threat to the baseball structure is certain to intensify.

State Jaycee Golf Tourney Upset in Title Bout at Pittsburgh; Becomes Oldest to Win Title By JACK HAND PITTSBURGH, July 18 JP Jer sey Joe Walcott, incredible 37-year-old Camden N. pappy guy, climaxed an amazing rags to riches saga tonight by knocking out Ezzard Charles In $5 seconds of the seventh round to win the World Heavyweight Champion ship. He is the oldest man ever to win the title. A smashing left hook that landed flush on Charles jaw dropped the 29-year-old Cincinnati Negro on his face with a stunning shock. Charles tried to pull himself up and was Just about to make it at the count of nine when he tumbled on his back into a neutral corner.

A 5 to 1 underdog making his fifth bid for the crown, he almost won from Joe Louis in 1947. The amazing Walcott scored one of the most stunning upsets in recent ring history as shock ing as Ray Robinson's recent defeat by Britain's Randy Turpin. Walcott's payoff punch brought a swarm of fans storming into the ring. It was several minutes before the police could clear the invading horde. Louis Will Wait This dazzling surprise before a whopping crowd that jammed Forbes Field, knocked out a Joe Louis- Charlesmatch, tentatively scheduled for New York in September.

Charles, however, was protected by a return match contract. He probably will meet Walcott again instead of the Louis match, and the Brown Bomber will have to wait another year for a chance. Making the ninth defense of the crown he won by outpointing Jersey Joe at Chicago in June of 1949, Ezzard ran flush into that zinging left from the "old man of the ring." This third match of the "series" between these old rivals yanked the big crowd out of its seats with shocking speed. Instead of a champion easily spearing a persistent but over-aged challenger, there was Ezzy on the deck. It was the first time Charles had been floored since he won the title and the second knockout loss of his career of 79 pro fights dating back to 1940.

Nobody gave Walcott much of a chance except his own followers, who claimed he was robbed in his first Louis fight and both previous scraps with Charles. No Regular Betting You couldn't even find a solid betting price on the match, so lopsided it seemed to be. Some said it was up as high 6 to 1 last night. Old Jersey Joe, making a career, of being a challenger after 21 years in the pro ring, was spearing Charles with those head punches all night. He drew blood from the champion's mouth as early as the fourth and raised a lump under his right eye in the 6ixth.

But there was no warning of the sudden ending. Neither boy had been on the deck or close to it. Older men have fought in the prize ring but none ever had won the most coveted prize of all the heavyweight crown. Bob Fitzsimmons whipped Jim Corbett at the age of 35. Both Fits and Jack Johnson defended at 37 but Walcott became the oldest ever to win it.

Back in the dressing room under, the stands, a bewildered Charles looked at reporters with wonder in his face. "Did they really count me out?" he said. 'l kinda remember trying to get up but at the count of five or six that's all I remember. "Walcott was really in there trying, wasn't he? Gee, I can't believe it." But believe it or not, it's as true as the Star-Spangled Banner. Charles, the mustachioed gent from Cincinnati, no longer is champion.

And this old "Cinderelle man" with six kids back; home in Jersey follows in, the line where Jack Dempsey, John L. Sullivan, Gene Tunney, and other greats trod before him. Florida Boys Win Matches in Eastern Junior Tennis Meet FOREST HILLS, N. July 18 (JP) Unseeded Ronald Kerdasha, of North Bergen, N. and ninth-seeded Al Harum, of Coral Gables, Fla scored upsets in the Junior division of the Eastern junior tennis championships at the West Side club today.

AV Wallop Tigers By 16-9 Score DETROIT, July 18 (JP) Eddie Joost powered the first pitch of the game into the left field stands for a home run and that set the Pnuadei phia Athletics off to a 20-hit explo sion that trounced the Detroit Tigers 16-9 today. The A's were aided by four Tiger errors. The Athletics Gus Zernial smashed a three-run homer in the eighth in ning to pace a six-run outburst that broke up a tight ball game and gave Dick Fowjler his fourth victory. Relief Pitcher Gene Bearden, who lost his third game as against two wins, blasted a three-run homer in the second inning. Catcher Joe Ginsberg rapped a two-run homer in the fifth that shaved the A's lead down to 7-6.

But with everybody in the lineup clubbing the ball, the Athletics grabbed a comfortable lead, tallying nine runs in the next three innings. Before the rout was over Detroit Man ager Red Rolfe had used five pitchers including starter Ted Bearden, Hal White, Bob Cain, and Dizzy Trout. Three infield errors, two by Third Baseman George Kell and one by First Baseman Dick Kryhoski, helped the A's to two runs without a hit in the third inning. Zernial's 24th homer scored Elmer Valo and Dave Philley ahead of him and climaxed the big eighth Inning explosion. Previously Lou LImmer and Carl Scheib had singled, Eddie Joost and Valo walked, and Philley singled for the first three runs.

Syracuse May Put 10th Team In Hockey League NEW YORK, July 18 (JP) The American Hockey League concluded a two-day meeting today with the an nouncement that there is "a very good possibility" that a' 10th team will operate in Syracuse, N. during the coming season. President Maurice Podoloff refused to elaborate on that statement beyond indicating that a provision had been made for the 10 th team in drawing up a tentative schedule for 1951-52. Another meeting will be held here Aug. 4, at which time the Syracuse franchise may be granted.

It is understood that at least two groups have been bidding for the Syracuse franchise. The league's franchise committee is empowered to grant a franchise to either one of these or to a combination of the groups. The major portion of the meeting was devoted to discussion of the schedule, a knotty problem when an uneven number of clubs is involved.
